Yes, you must mean either this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/038548349X/ - Zen Buddhism - by Daisetz T. Suzuki
Or this one: An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802130550

You'll like this one: Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375705090

And of course any Alan Watts, like this one:
The Book : On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679723005/
What Is Zen? by Alan Watts - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1577311671/

Revelation! Have you read that book? It's been on my must-read list for a while! What can you tell us about it? I had visions of spirals and DNA strands on one of my trips, that's why I wanted to check it.

Well, I could write a book on what spirals mean to me, and the strange synchronicities I have experienced, but I won't.

To quote William Blake:

The nature of infinity is this: That everything has its
Own vortex, and when once a traveller thro' Eternity
Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll backward behind
His path, into a globe itself unfolding like a sun.
Thus is the heaven a vortex pass'd already, and the earth
A vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity.

I'll have to check that book. Understanding what DNA is surely is a mystery.

With much wisdom comes much sorrow,
The more knowledge, the more grief.

Green Eggs and Ham

--------------------
Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
